God is not energy He is unimaginable

All the philosophy of Shankara is almost applicable to space or cosmic energy, if you treat it as God. There are several merits. Space is apparently modified into the materialized world. Space has spatial dimensions and hence, every item of the world has spatial dimensions, being the modification of the space. Hence, space is the creator of this world. Space maintains and destroys this world as energetic radiation. Since space itself is energy, the energetic radiation must be also space. Thus, the creation, maintenance and the destruction of the world are accomplished by the space or cosmic energy. The all-pervading space can be treated as God. But, there are two defects to negate such assumption. The first is that space is imaginable unlike the unimaginable God. The second is that Space is inert cosmic energy and cannot think.

God being Omnipotent should be able to do anything including the work of thinking. These two defects cancel the treatment of space as God. Similarly, awareness, which is a specific work form of inert energy, cannot also be God. The first defect is that God being a specific effect of the inert energy, cannot be the cause of energy.

But, the Veda says that God is the cause of energy or space (Aatmana akashah…). The second defect is that awareness is born after the end of the deep sleep and dies after beginning of the deep sleep (Athachainam… Gita). In such case, God has continuous chain of births and deaths, which contradicts the eternality of God. Due to these defects, God is neither the cosmic energy (space) nor the awareness. You cannot say that God is a mixture of both cosmic energy and awareness so that the mixture can have all the merits rejecting the defects. This is the impossible idea because you cannot mix the inert energy and non-inert awareness like day and night. There is an equal possibility of such mixture to have the defects of both, avoiding all the merits of both the items.
